Director dealings: Metro Bank CEO collects over £2.5m in share sale

Metro Bank chief executive officer Craig Donaldson disposed of 63,000 ordinary shares in the challenger bank on Monday, collecting more than £2.5m in the process.
Donaldson, Metro's boss since 2010, sold his shares with a price tag of 4,016.64p each.

Metro Bank, apparently boosted by demand for safety deposit boxes, last month posted its first ever annual profit, as record lending to both commercial and residential mortgage customers boosted the group along.

Underlying pre-tax profits for the year ended 31 December 2017 come in at £20.8m, up from a loss of £11.7m in 2016.

Metro also returned record deposit growth of £3.7bn, a 47% increase year-on-year, and record lending growth of £3.8bn, a 64% rise on the previous year's figure.

"2017 has been a fantastic year for Metro Bank," Donaldson said on 21 February.

"We've reported our first full year of profitability, had continued exceptional growth in both deposits and lending, and have the privilege now of looking after over one million customer accounts," he said.

As of 1620 GMT, shares had dipped 0.95% to 3,980.00p.
